Brainscapes consist of patterns of the human brain generated by employing pseudo-scientific techniques. The images attempt to look aesthetically pleasing while maintaining a seemingly believable scientific content. The images in this series originate from an MRI scan of the artist and processed into different end-points, often to reflect imaginary scientific perspectives in a manner similar to the way the media often employ hyper-simplification to approach modern science.
The focus is to create aesthetically interesting results which at the same time would question the boundaries of what is scientifically accurate. In this attempt, delicate structures intercepted from the brain using image segmentation are overused as a repeated pattern for a speculative utilitarian design. Features extracted from the cerebellum or cortical folds are explored for their stand-alone aesthetic value when singled-out and replicated in an unnatural background.
